I have had an extremely negative experience with breast implants and Dr. Stompro. Any one else out there please comment.
Perhaps we can help let other people know our stories.

I have heard nothing but great things about Dr. Stompro. As for the individual who sued him, well I've heard nothing but bad stories about her. So it is very hard for me to believe her story. She has avoided paying me for over 5 years now and comes up with every type of excuse. [Portion removed.]

I only have nice things to say about Dr. Stompro. He gives excellent care and knows his job. I hate when other people have to resort to this.

Dr. Stompro's wife had breast cancer, and because of that he's breast specialist. I had a breast aug from him about 6 years ago, and I've had no problems. Since my surgery, I've had many people approach me to ask if I've had a breast aug because of how natural they look, and have referred tons of business to him. Unfortunately, there are people out there who try to find loop holes to get everything free.

It is very hard for me to believe anything out of this woman's mouth. If I had been reading this article with anyone else's name in it, I might believe half of it, as I do not know Dr. Stompro personally. What I have heard about him has all been positive [portion removed.]

Dr. Stompro is charismatic to meet with, but when you have surgery, and go through the entire process the initial meeting stands out as the best part. His follow-up and attention to detail really needs to be addressed. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Stompro was my breast surgeon last year. He was amazing. Professional, sweet, and made me look amazing.

My breast aug from Dr. Stompro was horrible. I have complete numbness on both sides. I will never get the feeling back. I went in when I was 19 and he didnt give me the time of day, he was short and rude. I have had them re done since then and they are much better but, still numb. He is VERY over priced. I agree with you get what you pay for but, not with him. Good luck and I would pick a different surgeon. There are some amazing docs out there that dont charge outrageous prices and do an exceptional job.

Be careful! You won't be content with his half-hearted work.

I had surgery three years ago from Dr.Stompro. I'm extremely happy with the results and with the professionalism and friendly mannerism of Dr. Stompro and his staff. He is an expert in his field and it is very unfortunate this patient has tried to tarnish his excellent reputation.

I have had Dr. Stompro do plastic surgery on me twice in the past 5 years. And because of his talent, compassion & integrity he's the only surgeon that I would ever use. I have recommended him to several friends and collegues. It's unfortunate about the lawsuit. But unfortunately we live in a sue happy society and these suits happen to exceptional doctors. Dr. Stompro is successful and talented in his field.

Dr Stompro did my breast aug in jan 2008. Prior to my surgery I did alot of research and had several consuls with different Doctors.I am so happy that I chose him to do my procedure.Dr Stompro and his staff are amazing. They went above and beyond my expectations. He has excellent patient care.I'm thrilled with my result.I have and will continue to recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Stompro performed extensive plastic surgery on me. At the consultation he was great. His follow-up care was awful and I ended up in the hospital. I was quite ill for several years because of him.
His post-surgical staff where I had to spend the night were very cold. All they wanted to do was eat and watch TV. I would never, ever refer any one to Dr. Stompro.

I have also received some plastic surgery from Stompro. The follow-up care was horrible! He was never there - always saw his so called nurse. Once you pay, the rest seems to be your own problem! Bad, bad, bad. Do your research - try another doctor.

I am so confused to why I have only heard really good things about Dr Stompro. And this is the only website I have found bad reviews on him. I just don't understand why the people who aren't happy with their surgery haven't posted reviews on popular doctor review websites, or even yelp or yahoo? There is a risk for any surgery, and I am just not sure whether some of the patients were that small percentage of having a complication?

People get over it, it seems to me that the ones that have had problems with their bodies it isn't the docs fault, its what you were born with. It doesn't matter who you go to you well never be satisfied.You need to be seeing a shrink not a surgeon.Don't blame him.
